sleep; delinquency; adverse childhood experiences
Scholars are calling for greater understanding of the effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on youth development. This study examines the influence of ACEs on delinquency and whether this effect is mediated by sleep. The findings suggest that ACEs contribute to suboptimal sleep, which in turn leads to delinquency. Implications for research and policy are discussed.
Scholars have called for greater understanding of the effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on later youth development, including research on sleep as a potential contributor to delinquency. This study seeks to extend that work by situating the focus on ACEs and sleep within a life-course perspective, one that examines life events and turning points, the disruptions that they create, and their longer-term consequences for youth. In particular, drawing on a large-scale survey of high school students, we examine whether ACEs influence delinquency and whether this effect is mediated by sleep. We find modest support for the central hypothesis that ACEs contribute to suboptimal sleep and in turn delinquency. Implications for research and policy are discussed.
